A sturdy text serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a slightly calligraphic, hand-inked edge to its forms. Strokes show moderate modulation and a lively rhythm, with softly rounded joins and occasional wedge-like terminals that keep the texture energetic rather than rigid. Counters are generous and the overall fit is comfortable, producing a dark, even typographic color that remains readable while still feeling characterful.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine work, and cover typography where a traditional serif with extra heft is desired. It can also serve effectively in posters and packaging that benefit from a classic, print-forward voice and strong contrast against light backgrounds.
The tone is classic and slightly old-fashioned, evoking printed book typography and early editorial display. Its weight and assertive serifs lend authority, while the subtly irregular, inked shapes add warmth and approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with added personality—combining familiar proportions with expressive terminals and a slightly inked, vintage texture for confident, readable display and titling.
In text settings the face maintains strong presence and clear word shapes, with a slightly rugged texture that can add personality to headings and pull quotes. The numerals match the overall robustness, keeping a consistent, traditional flavor across alphanumerics.
